Long distance romances...can they really work (20)
It requires alot of patients,detication and hard work,for once feelings are formed the distance has one longing.But it can work,and as proven so.
I just got out of a long distance relationship not too long ago and to be honest its very difficult and can be very stressful. You have to have a lot of patience and trust and definatly good communication in order for it to really work.
But if you really love someone that much then distance should not be an issue either. But just take it day by day and get to know one another and once you meet in person then you will really know and find out if the connection and chemistry is still there.

the answer is pretty much straightforward and in my case, the answer is NO.......
Us as ladies appreciate all the things that come with a relationship (as I am sure there are some men like that too)...kissing, hugging, cozying up, having dinner together, running errands, and just doing "nothing" together and when there is a long distance gap there, it makes it all the more difficult.......yes, there is a lot of communication, honesty and openness but hey, isn't that always something that is needed in ANY relationship?? just my thoughts......have a good one!

Yes, it can work, as long as Trust has been earned, you have met this person - or spoken on the phone - but it does take a lot of work.
Anything is possible in the world we live in....
no no no no
I think that it can work. However, long distance relationships always seem to demand that you meet. L.
just my view....but i dont see why romance/love should have distance limits. It can work but it does pose challenges. It seems silly to me that i should only look for a good relationship in only my town. Options are a good thing and there's so much quality out there than just in my local radius.
There is no distance that can dissuade feelings.
I have had long distance relationships in past, which only makes me all the more careful about how to work past the obstacles.
Can it work, success stories have proven it.
Only you and your potential partner will answer the question as to whether or not you become that success story...

I have to smile when I read your post Gib. my fingers are crossed for you too and your special lady. Wishing you both all the best.
Long distance relationships can work depending on a couple of things number 1. you HAVE to make an effort to atleast see the person even if its for a weekend cuz come on.. people have needs number 2. it cant remain long distant for more then i'd say a year at the most unless ur military or what not spending alot of time away and such i was away from my ex fiancee for like 6 months we made it work(the ex part came later so its completely irrelavant)
I beleive they can work, I travelled from BC and back to MB and him, vice versa.........our downfall after a year and half.........jobs....nothing hear for him at all, absolutely nothing there for me at all, both having specific careers and both of having the need to work, luckily we had no kids to worry about, now that would be a hard issue....we remain very good friends and support each other mo matter the choice, anyone who is going to give this a try....do it wholeheartedly and I wish you the best of love and luck !!
note: was a very hard journey, heartbreaking at times but worth everymoment !

I did a few long distance relationships and they're not for me. I want the everyday connection. The ability to talk on the phone without worrying about the phone bill at the end of the month. The long waits between meetings and then the desperate attempt to cram every moment into a two day weekend. And then the longgggg wait again til the next time.
Looking back, I'm glad I got to know the men involved. But if I had to do it again.. I wouldn't.. not unless he was within driving distance and willing to come visit more than once every few months.

It can work. I mean mine didn't start out as one but it became a long distance(she moved to ontario). we made it work for almost another year before it ended(car accident, we didnt break up). I believe that distant relationships can work. the time apart makes you value the time spent together a little more. you just have to have trust in your partner.

I think that long distance relationships can work. However, it really is a lot of work. From my experience, I would recommend trying to find someone closer to your home. L.
Well my last relationship started by emails and phone calls, it lasted 10 years and 2 great kids later so yes it does work. But needs lots of work, so important to be on the same page in the same book same author to keep communication alive.
